You’re being sarcastic but surely you know that really is the presumed eventuality for a lot of people who have fallen for the hype. “AI will become smarter than humans and so will be able to create better AI.” So if you believe that, we’re currently still bootstrapping the AI, but it will eventually be able to create the next iteration of AI without needing us.
I don’t believe that of course.
Now, hold on a minute. I get what you’re doing and I like it, but I don’t think those first 2 examples work.
Visual programming is programming. Were they really ever touted as not requiring programmers? I would think it’s just marketed as more intuitive and easier to use for certain applications, but users are still referred to as programmers. Let me know if I’m wrong. Side note: my first programming language was LabVIEW, a visual programming language, which I used in high school to program our robot for FRC. It is, for all intents and purposes, a fully-fledged programming language and requires a programmer to create code for it.
MDA, honestly I don’t know much about it, but from the description in the image it sounds like it still requires someone to “write a universal model”… did they try to claim that that someone would not be a programmer?
According to https://joinmastodon.org/about :
Mastodon gGmbH is a non-profit from Germany that develops the Mastodon software.
[…]
Mastodon, Inc. is a non-profit entity in the United States that supports the growth and operational capabilities of Mastodon, including being able to receive tax-deductible U.S. donations and in-kind support.
Doesn’t seem like it was a move, just a different entity. Seems like there’s a bit more history to this if you want to look it up, for example the German GmbH lost its nonprofit status in 2024, strangely.
Thank you, I have now been unwooshed
I use both btw
Woah. Sir, this is trademark infringement. You’re only allowed to use that phrase with Arch.
Yup, Cinnamon is slow on Wayland support, but they’re getting there. Eventually.
Police, this guy right here.
I think (not 100% sure) that UEFI is a replacement for BIOS. All modern computers use UEFI.
People still colloquially call it “BIOS” because it serves a similar purpose, but there is a technical difference.
Even your title isn’t the true beginning. Before the terminal, there was just a printer. Teletype, was it?
I followed a number of guides to try to get it to work. Including doing that. No dice.
I still think it’s probably user error on my part, but I’m still shocked there was no command to effectively “force run an unattended upgrade now” to test that it works correctly.
The OP did it in the wrong order. First do update to refresh, then do upgrade to install.
There are even better ways built into the shell, but I can never remember any of them. I also never thought of history|grep, I think I might actually remember that one. Thanks!
It’s through Update Manager (mintupdate) for me, but I definitely feel like the happy guy looking out at the nice view.
I never got unattended-upgrades to work for me on the machine I tried it on. Best I could tell, it just didn’t do anything. It was frustrating.
But many years back I set up my raspberry pi with a cron job that was effectively (if not literally) apt update && apt full-upgrade && reboot and that seemed to be working just fine.
Among many other reasons, this is one more why I always prefer to use a GUI than a terminal shell. The default delete operation is just sends files to trash, and that’s easily undoable. I think you can even press Ctrl+Z to do so (can’t check atm).
I don’t even know how to do that from commandline.
(one online search later…)
There’s a package for that but best I can tell there’s no universal way.
What the hell is wrong with all of you? Command names obviously use - and not _
Tell that to people 150 years ago.
